The Minoans: Ep2 Where the Minotaur Was Born

In 1900, archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans uncovered the sprawling ruins of Knossos — a palace unlike anything seen before. But this was no ordinary building. With vibrant frescoes, storerooms brimming with ancient goods, and mysterious inscriptions in Linear A, Knossos revealed a glimpse into the heart of Minoan life.
In this episode, we explore the architecture, symbolism, and daily rhythm of the palace — and ask: how much of what we know is real, and how much is the vision of the man who dug it up?
